"Trump doesn't care about HIV/AIDS" | Six resign from Trump's HIV/AIDS council

20/06/2017

Scott Schoettes, Lucy Bradley-Springer, Gina Brown, Ulysses Burley III, Michelle Ogle, and Grissel Granados all resigned after they felt that the president was imposing regressive policies in health care.

Six prominent members of an HIV/AIDS council resigned from their positions in protest of President Donald Trump's non-existent HIV policies. Its helps inform the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, which was last revised in 2015.

Schoettes goes on to criticize the Trump administration's continued plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and make cuts to Medicaid.

But any recommendations on the matters to the current administration would fall on deaf ears, the op-ed says. "However, we can not ignore the many signs that the Trump Administration does not take the on-going epidemic or the needs of people living with HIV seriously". For example, as a presidential candidate, Trump, unlike Hillary Clinton or Sen.

"I think HIV was never a priority for this White House".

Schoettes shared his concern for people living with HIV and AIDS if changes to Medicaid are enacted by the American Health Care Act, saying it would be "devastating". Under the President Barack Obama, the council helped the administration craft a new national strategy, created to reduce infections, increase access to care, reduce health inequalities, and coordinate a national response.

Schoettes is not only counsel for PACHA but is also HIV Project Director at the pioneering LGBTQ legal group Lambda Legal. The six explain that they feel that they would "be more effective from the outside", urging members of Congress to continue to listen to advocates as they work to reform the healthcare system. All of the members of PACHA should follow the courageous lead of the six who resigned last week, and speak out loudly about this administration's brutal policies.
